Fees

CommunityPool is free to sign up for and use.

Free to create an account
Free to deploy CommunityPools
Unlimited CommunityPool deployments
No monthly subscription fee
Launch protocol fee: 1%
Protocol fee is deducted from the amount funded
Current fee is shown before confirmation
Immutable maximum protocol fee: 3%

The fee comes out of the amount you fund — it is never added on top. Fund 1.00 PAXG and your wallet is debited 1.00 PAXG: 0.01 PAXG goes to the treasury and 0.99 PAXG goes into the pool. The rate lives in a contract on Ethereum, not on this website, so the current rate is always shown before you confirm.

                  Receives protocol revenue

The CommunityPool admin can modify protocol pricing, but has no privileged ability to access assets deposited into CommunityPools.

Pools created before the protocol fee went live run under their original contract and are not charged a protocol fee.
On-chain transactions still require network gas, which is paid to the network in its native asset and is not collected by CommunityPool.
